Chapter 2: New experiences

I woke up to the strange smell of something being cooked downstairs. I couldn't really figure out what it was that smelled well but I was too tired to get up from my bed. My mom comes up to my room to wake me up which succeeded because she opened my door so fast that it hit the wall and made a bang sound that was really loud and it scared the crap out of me. I yawn and sit up to stretch my tired limbs and wake up a little bit more.

"Hurry up and get ready Roxas or you're going to have to eat your breakfast cold this morning," my mom said a little aggressively but I didn't care.

"OK," I say tiredly getting up to start getting some day clothes on.

It was the weekend so I didn't really have to do anything today. Knowing Sora he probably had made friends at school already and would hang out with them all day while I would sit at home and look up cute and funny cat videos on YouTube or something. All I know is that my social life is horrible.

As I was going downstairs I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I open it and see that a random number texted me. I open up the text and it said that it was Axel. I sigh and put my phone back in my pocket reminding myself to answer back after I got some food in my stomach.

I sit at the kitchen table where I saw my dad, mom, and Sora sitting there. I look at Sora and he looked like he was about to go somewhere with some friends like always. I sigh a little and begin to eat my breakfast that consisted of bacon, eggs, a waffle, and some apple juice. I love apple juice by the way. As I was silently eating my food my dad asked me how I liked my new school.

I look up, "Well it's better than my old school, I already made friends with a junior other than Sora," I say finishing up my food on my plate.

"Well that's good Roxas, pretty soon you'll be friends with the whole school before you know it."

I chuckle at the thought of that because I'm usually so unsocial; the only reason why I made friends with them is because they approached me first. I yawn and say that I was going back up to my room and Sora said he was going out with some friends.

When I went into my room I took my phone out of my pocket and opened up the text from Axel. I sigh and reply back asking how he got my number. He send back saying that he got it when I spent the night with him at his house and I wouldn't wake up when he tried to wake me up and decided to steal my phone and put my number in his contacts. I sigh and after a second he texted me back asking if I wanted to hang out today.

I smile and text back, "Sure just let me take a quick shower and get ready OK?"

He texts back saying, "OK I'll be at your house in an hour or two so get ready before then."

I smile and throw my phone on my bed and put some clothes on my bed and grab a towel and go to my bathroom to shower.

As the water was running down my skin I was imagining about all of the possibilities of what would happen in the future and if this was a date or not. I sigh and begin washing my mess of fluff I call hair with the best smelling shampoo I had. After a couple of minuets of washing my body clean I came out of the shower feeling clean. I dry myself off and wrap the towel around my waist and go to my room to start putting on my clothes. After a while of getting ready and listening to some music, Axel texted me saying that he was outside of my house.

I walk down the stairs and see my parents in the living room. I quickly tell them that I was going to go somewhere with my friend and they said OK and I was on my way out of the door and I saw Axels' car parked in the driveway and him waiting on me in his car. I get inside the car and it oddly smelled like he burned something that smelled really good. I look at him and he smiles.

"So where to," he asks me beginning to pull out of the driveway.

I shrug my shoulders and say, "Anywhere is fine but I'm a little hungry so can we go to a restaurant to grab something to eat."

He smiles and nods and we go to a pizza place to eat some pizza, obviously, and we decided to talk for a while.

"So, Axel, why did you want to hang out with me today? I mean we just met last week and we barely talk at all except for in the mornings and in gym."

He shrugs, "Well you just looked like someone who needed a friend and someone to help you out with Reno, seeing as how he's in all of your classes."

I smile, "I'm pretty sure that I can deal with Reno, he isn't that bad and he is actually pretty fun to be around."

Axel chuckles and looks at me, "Trust me he will be the death of you."

I smile, "No, I think that would be you."

He smiles, "Well don't tell me I didn't warn you."

I sigh and we eventually got finished with our pizza and we decided on going to the mall. We pull into a parking space and get out of the car. I look at Axel and he smiles at me. I sigh and we walk through the doors and start walking around the mall looking at all of the displays and shops as we passed them. We came to this shop that sold knives and swords and I said I wanted to go in it and the surprised look on Axels' face was priceless. He agreed and we went into the shop.

When we reached the back I saw this really cool sword that had a dragon painted onto the sheath and it just looked so magnificent. I look at Axel and show him the sword. He looks it over and looks at me.

"You want it don't you," he asks looking at the price tag.

"Well I do but you don't have to buy it, I just thought you might have thought it looked cool," I say a little shyly.

He picks it up and brings it to the cashier and takes out his wallet while ignoring my rants about how he didn't have to buy it if he didn't want to. He paid for it even though it was only $20. He tells the cashier that he would pick it up when we where ready to leave the mall and she nodded.

We walk out of the shop and I look at him.

"Why did you buy the sword," I ask him worried that he might hate me and if I sounded too needy for someone who he just met a week ago.

"You wanted it didn't you," Axel asks.

I nod feeling guilty for some reason.

"That's why I got it for you, also I felt like doing something nice for you."

I blush and look away and admit defeat about the subject. Axel smiles and we go into a comic store. I look at some of the super hero comics while he was looking at some posters. He bought a poster that had a cat on it; hanging from a tree branch saying, "Hang in there." I thought it was kind of cute and smile.

We left the mall with the sword and the cat poster and get things inside of his car. He looks at me while I was putting some stuff in the back of his car and I thought I saw him blushing a little bit. I smile and sit in the front seat and he starts up the car and begins pulling out of the parking space.

He pulls into the driveway of my house and helps me get my stuff out of his car and I go to my front door and wave bye to him. He waves back and drives away. I sigh and go inside of my house. I run up to mu room and put my sword onto one of my dressers. I sit on my bed and Sora walks into my room.

"Where have you been Roxas?"

I look at him, "I was with Axel, and he bought me a sword."

He looked confused and I pointed at the sword that I put on my dresser.

"Why did he get you that," he asked looking at it.

I shrug my shoulders and Sora smiles.

"What," I ask him.

"I think he likes you."

I start laughing a lot, "That's hilarious, why would someone, like Axel, like me?"

Sora shrugs, "I don't know but still you might want to look into it the next time he asks you out on a date."

I blush, "That was not a date. All we did was talk to each other."

He smiles, "Sure, that's what it was," he says walking out of my room.

I sigh and lay down on my bed and try not to think about what Sora said about Axel possibly being gay."
